Hmm...ok well let me explain what I'm doing.
Basically we have the file server, which is currently running
4 9 gig drives in a raid 0/1 configuration on the Adaptec U2W.
The web servers which basically mount the raid volume via nfs
surround the machine.
If I can, I'd like to eliminate the need to use nfs from the
web servers and just share the device across the machines.
What it sounds like you're saying is, it is possible as far
as the hardware is concerned, but the code isn't ready.
Read only in this case wouldn't really be an options, but
wouldn't locking take care of this somehow?
Raid Inc. wants $10,000 for their "solution". I was trying
to use what we already have.
Thanks!
